Tasting Notes
Vinous 95
The 2015 Yquem was poured from magnum. To be honest, it is almost identical to the bottle tasted three years earlier (although a wit would counter that it's "twice as nice"). It's probably too young to distinguish between the maturity of the two formats, but it has a gorgeous saffron-scented bouquet with hints of acacia honey and pressed white flowers. The plate is glorious, beautifully balanced, with just the right amount of viscosity and sufficient tension on the finish to keep this on its toes. A promising future beckons.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2065
